The Phillies pulled off an electric sweep against the Cardinals in the wild-card series to advance to the division series against reigning World Series champions, the Braves.
During Bryce Harper’s second inning home run in Game 2 against St. Louis, the dugout and bullpen celebrated accordingly. This home run helped the Phillies move on to the next round of the playoffs.
Well, apparently one player celebrated too hard. Ahead of Game 1 of the division series against the Braves on Tuesday, Philadelphia manager Rob Thomson announced that reliever David Robertson will miss the series after straining his right calf while he jumped up and down for Harper’s homer, per ESPN’s Jesse Rogers.
